Audrye Sessions are a great new band from the Bay Area of California but upon first listen they could easily be mistaken for the next British buzz band. Front man Ryan Karazija’s voice sometimes recalls Matthew Bellamy of Muse or even Thom Yorke of Radiohead. Their debut self titled album is a collection of songs written over the first few years of the band’s existence, some which originally appeared on their self released CD Braille. The band’s sound is mostly guitar driven with some keys and pop elements showing through on songs like “Relentless” and “New Year’s Day.” They also know how to bring the rock on songs like “Julianna” and “The Paper Face.” As much new music as I come across, there are actually very few new bands that I listen to more than once and keep coming back to. Audrye Sessions are the most pleasant surprise so far of 2009. The band are gearing up to head out on tour with one of my other favorites, Manchester Orchestra, which should be an amazing show. Today’s song is the album’s lead off track and a pretty great example of what to expect from Audrye Sessions. For the stellar price of $5.99 on Amazon, there is no excuse to not own this album.Audrye Sessions - "Turn Me Off"
